Lord Mengchang asked: "What's the situation with the rebels launched by Annan, Fuzhen and Mingzhou?"

As early as the early stages of the rebellion, they secretly recruited "rebels" under various names to build troops and make weapons. Because hereditary fiefdoms could only collect taxes but not govern the people and build an army, so although Lord Mengchang had official power, he had no military power.

army.

But then again, as long as you have a strong wealth foundation and the status and ambition to plan, there is no need to worry about not achieving the expected goal.

Su Fang's eyes were bright, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes were narrowed: "Mr. Feng just sent the arrow order not long ago. He has already restrained Qi's Royal Protector Army and Zhenhu River Army on three sides. There will definitely be enough time for us to accomplish the great task."

!”

The Royal Protectorate Army was composed of descendants of recent branches of the royal family. It was originally an army prepared to prevent so-called traitors from causing rebellion, but later it became more and more private soldiers of the royal family. The army stationed in Zhenhu River was to prevent surrounding rebellions.

, when the royal city is in danger, you can secretly issue an edict and command the troops to bring peace to the city.

In short, these two armies cannot be ignored. They are both life-saving weapons for King Qi. Therefore, they have always been the key to Mengchang's hesitant actions. This time, we will focus on exploring and understanding the situation.

"That's great, but where is Xue Yi?" Lord Mengchang asked again.

The army led by Su Fang had won a complete victory, and now it was a time of excitement.

His heartbeat was as slow as a beating, and he tried to hide the upward curve of his mouth, and said with joy: "Our lord has been placed under house arrest by King Qi in the palace. The critical situation spread throughout the city, and naturally there was an uproar. He was thinking about it."

Only if the crisis is implicated, we are free to control our actions. Some old nobles are entangled in the palace, sending wealth to seek changes, and then jointly affecting the matter around Linzi, causing people to panic. But today, it seems that God is helping my lord.

If there is a warning from heaven, I will help my lord to change the situation. People in the world are already unstable, but now everyone is united."

Lord Mengchang also saw today's total solar eclipse. He was startled. Although there was suspicion in his heart, his face remained unmoved. He asked again: "What about the situation of the Allied Powers?"

Su Fang laughed and said: "Thanks to them, they take the lead in everything, which avoids the suspicion of us. During this period, Young Master Fei Lin's investigation was strict, and secret sentries were posted everywhere in Wang Street. Our men and horses were caught as soon as they moved.

Arrest and kill. After receiving your signal from the observatory that day, we immediately set out to deploy troops. This time, the elite troops sent by the four countries were calming us outside the city, while we rushed into the palace immediately.

middle."

When Mengchang Jun heard this, he put his hands behind his hands and raised his chin. Finally, there was a smile on his face. He said, "There is one more good thing."

Su Fang was startled and asked curiously: "Is there any good thing left?"

The lord is completely alone in this palace, so what kind of good things can be done like this?

When Wei Jian saw that his lord and Mr. Su had finished talking about business, he happily squeezed past him and said, "My lord, what else is there to do?"

His face was red, his eyes were round and his nose was stained with sweat. His face was also full of excitement and excitement, and the energy in his body was heavier than that of Su Fang.

Si Jiang and Ji Yun stopped talking to Chen Baiqi now and looked at him together.

Lord Mengchang glanced at them, his eyes curled up, and he said with a hint of evil and coolness: "King Qi is dead, is this a good thing?"

Everyone was stunned.

Su Fang stopped in shock and stammered for a long time: "This...should be considered so."

He turned his head to look at "Chen Huanxian" and asked with wide eyes.

King Qi is dead?! How? The death of a country was so sudden that he couldn't react for a moment.

Chen Baiqi looked at Mr. Mengchang, only lowered his eyes and smiled, and said nothing.

It was really difficult to explain the situation at that time, so she might as well have remained silent.

Su Fang saw that the two of them were half exposed and half hidden, so he had no choice but to continue questioning. While he was thinking, his eyes moved to Jiang Fei who was standing next to a pile of ruins. He had a wound on his forehead and blood was flowing down his cheek.

It flowed all the way to his lapel, and he stared at this side, only to see a strong armored soldier beside him carrying a person on his back. It was King Qi who was wearing a royal robe, but barefoot and with his hair hanging down. He lowered his head,

There was no sound, his body was covered in dust, and his face and clothes were stained with blood.

Mengchang Jun also looked in the direction of Jiang Fei. Now the situation between them has reversed. If he was the prey in Jiang Fei's eyes just now, then Jiang Fei is the trapped beast in his claws now.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face was full of malice. He raised his voice a little and said: "It's just that if we do this, we will have to change the reason why we announced the decline of royal power to the outside world."

After hearing this, Jiang Fei's face froze, and the muscles under his skin trembled violently like ricochet. He knew that Lord Mengchang and his followers were telling such secrets in public so openly, and they were deliberately telling him.

, in order to stimulate and retaliate against him, on the one hand, he felt that they were bound to die, so why should he hesitate to speak to a group of dead people?

It's so vicious to see Lord Mengchang humiliate and bully a royal son like him once he becomes powerful!

Although Su Fang over there didn't know why Lord Mengchang said these words, as a counselor who sacrificed the emperor's salary and was loyal to the emperor, he naturally had to act in accordance with the emperor's wishes.

He struck each other with his fists and said thoughtfully: "The government and government offices over Wang Street have been sealed by Yuan Ping. None of the royal ministers and royal nobles living there can escape. In this case, why not just kill them?"

The king was unkind and tyrannical and brought harm to the people. The king was bewitched by the sycophants in the court and stayed close to the villain and stayed away from the bright ministers. Recently, the villain was punished and planned to blackmail the emperor to make the princes rebel. However, the lord stepped forward and sent troops to appease the troubled people and help them.

Justice comes to your side!"

Do you need a reason to rebel? Of course.

Although it is not the most important, it is necessary.

After all, King Qi Min is an orthodox prince, recognized by the Emperor of Zhou, and Lord Mengchang is not a poor white man, but a descendant of the former prime minister who was dismissed from his post and a hereditary royal family. He is a minister, and he is protected by the royal family.

If you want to inherit the current throne in a legitimate and legitimate manner without being poked in the back, then you have to consider this reason carefully.

However, this matter does not need to be considered by Mengchang Jun himself. He has many people who can make suggestions.

The initial plan was to enter the palace under the banner of being loyal to the emperor and admonish the king of Qi, to be loyal to his ministers and stay away from villains, to be diligent and caring for the people, and not to believe in Taoist magic pills, and to use heavy industry and labor for construction, which resulted in excessive corvee taxes and deprived the people of their livelihood.

Later, after he was imprisoned by the King of Qi, he publicized the matter again. When the time came, he stepped forward to quell the peasant rebellions for the King of Qi with the attitude of "repaying evil with kindness". At this time, his reputation was naturally highly praised.

At this time, he would find an opportunity to assassinate the King of Qi, and then kill his legitimate son, and then he could naturally replace him.

But now that King Qi died early, he had to change his story.

Therefore, if "there are no honest ministers in the court and there are treacherous ministers", then they have to find a group of "treacherous ministers" from the court. Wouldn't this play into the hands of Lord Mengchang?

As an emperor and a courtier, he had the right to eliminate dissidents and establish prestige in the court.

As for the candidates, they were naturally those courtiers and officials who were loyal to the king and had always been against him.

Chen Baiqi was dumbfounded as he listened to Su Fang opening his mouth to make up the reasons for the rebellion. He fully understood the rules of conspiracy. If the lord wanted a reason, well, he would give him the most appropriate one that would be popular among the public.

Reasons for acceptance.

On weekdays, I see Mr. Su as a talented person, elegant and upright, but I didn't expect that when he is dark, he is also unparalleled.

In this regard, Chen Baiqi thought that she was not as good as him. Her honesty was based on not distorting the true facts, and was just a straight branch at most.

"This is a good reason. That group of traitors remembered to tell Yuan Ping to keep them in jail before they were tried and executed in public." Mengchang Jun confessed matter-of-factly.

Su Fang said: "Yuan Ping, Su Cuo, Situ Ta and others are responsible for this matter. Don't worry, my lord, none of the people you need can escape."

At this time, Chen Baiqi couldn't help but interjected: "It's been really hard on you all the way."

Su Fang looked at her with a smile and joy in his eyes. He said: "My lord and Huanxian have just gone deep into the tiger's den. If my lord hadn't dared to take risks, I'm afraid that King Qi wouldn't have taken it so lightly, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Seeing that all the things that needed to be understood were discussed, Mengchang Jun said: "The rest of the things here will be left to you..." He glanced at Jiang Fei, who was surrounded by heavy soldiers on the ruins and was in a difficult situation, and said with a raised lip.

: "Capture Jiang Fei alive, and it's up to you to decide whether to keep the others or not."

"Here!"

"Here!"

Seeing the smoke rising from the city wall not far away, where there were still remnants of soldiers wielding weapons to kill, Mengchang Jun took Chen Baiqi and walked past the crowd.

Su Fang and Wei Yan glanced at each other and then went to complete the task awaited by their master and capture Jiang Fei. Ji Yun and Si Jiang looked at each other and then followed, but they followed behind and did not disturb the two of them.

Since King Qi Min came to the throne, he felt that the original palace was not worthy of his title. In the fourth year of his accession, he started a large-scale construction project and rebuilt a large splendid palace outside the original palace. The palaces of three generations were connected and layered on top of each other.

Hope is boundless.

Mengchangjun pulled Chen Bai and ran into the wide white jade square. Chen Bai started to follow, looking at him in front of him constantly, wondering what he meant by what he meant and where he was going to take her.

The two of them did not stop in front of the majestic and splendid main hall. They went straight to the Pingyu Gate on the east side and stopped. The cavalry from both sides were fighting in the surrounding area. The infantry on both sides were facing each other, but it was obvious that the situation was one-sided. The Jiawei belonging to the royal city

The army was defeated, but it was stubbornly resisting.

Mengchangjun and the others rushed to the steps of the city tower along with the fighting, fireworks, and screams everywhere, and then climbed straight to the city wall.

This is one of the highest locations in the royal city. You can see the palaces in the back and the bustling city in front. The two of them stood side by side at the highest point of bloody power. It is also the center of the battlefield in troubled times. On the far side is the collapsed city wall.

and horizon.

Mengchangjun let her go and looked at the sky. It was a sky dyed red by dusk clouds, but further away there was a dense cloud. He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Huanxian, this city was once buried

I have killed too many people, and I don’t know how long I can live, but I promise you that as long as I live for one day, I will be able to make you more powerful than anyone else!"

Chen Baiqi's eyes froze, as if he had not expected that he would suddenly say this, nor had he thought that he could make such a solemn and incredible promise to her.

She stared at his side face in surprise, touched her forehead, and the slightly cool fingers in the wind touched her warm forehead. The cold touch made her unreal for a moment more certain. She put down her hand,

After thinking about it, I wanted to laugh, but I felt that I should be serious at this moment.

Presumably, it was his previous words with Jiang Xuan that had stimulated him. Although he calmly belittled Jiang Xuan as worthless from beginning to end, in fact, in his heart, he also cared about Jiang Xuan's contempt and disapproval of him.

Therefore, he wanted to prove to Jiang Xuan, Chief Peinan, Yingji and others that the choice of "Chen Huanxian" was correct.

Suddenly, Chen Baiqi felt that the grievances and reluctance he felt in his heart a long time ago towards the system's semi-forced and semi-helpless recognition of the master disappeared at this moment.

Sometimes it is better to hurry up than to hurry up. Maybe Mengchang Jun does have many problems, but she is not perfect. As long as their master and servant are of the same mind and he is willing to trust and rely on her, she will do her best to help him without any second thoughts.

After Chen Baiqi regained his composure, he teased: "Master, it seems that such a favored minister will not end well in the end."

Mengchang Jun turned his head and saw Chen Baiqi's stretched out eyebrows, like the wind, like clouds, like the mountains and rivers that make people's hearts soft. The light hidden in her eyes was always so sparkling and moving.

"Hahahaha... It doesn't matter. As long as I pamper you for a day, there is no need for others to comment." Seeing her such a happy look, Mr. Mengchang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"If so, then I would like to thank the Lord for His grace."

Chen Baiqi smiled and bowed to Mr. Mengchang. Mr. Mengchang held her up. The two looked at each other and laughed again.
Chapter completed!
